The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Offinso North Constituency, Mr. Collins Augustine Ntim, has handed over dual desks to the District Education Directorate for onward distribution to public schools in the area.
The procurement of the desks, which was funded from his share of his Common Fund, was in response to a request made by the District Education Directorate.
The furniture, which was made up of 500 dual desks, was to help solve some of the furniture challenges facing public schools in the district.
At a handover ceremony at the forecourt of the office of the Assembly, the MP stressed on his commitment to the provision of quality education in the area, and gave the assurance that he would not shirk his responsibilities to ensure that pupils received quality education.
The Member of Parliament tasked both the Education Directorate and the beneficiary schools to handle the furniture with care, and maintain them to help solve challenges in the district.
The District Director of Education, Mr. Martin Addo Fordjour, expressed gratitude to the MP and the Assembly for coming to their aid, and said the provision of furniture for the schools would go a long way to enhance teaching and learning.
He also appealed to the Assembly, the MP and other stakeholders to still come to their aid to help resolve the furniture challenges, since the deficit was huge.
He announced that 27 Junior High and Basic schools would be benefiting for now.
